Created attachment 342606 [details, diff] python 2.6.8 multiprocessing cross-compile patch this converts the cross-compiling logic over to the multiprocessing eclass this patch is against python-2.6.8, but applying to the others is pretty straight forward i posted this a while ago to the irc channel and no one had problems with it. forgot about it in the mean time.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: When cross-compiling, run the configures in parallel for a nice speed up http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-lang/python/python-2.6.8-r1.ebuild?r1=1.13&r2=1.14 http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-lang/python/python-2.7.3-r3.ebuild?r1=1.15&r2=1.16 http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-lang/python/python-3.1.5-r1.ebuild?r1=1.13&r2=1.14 http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-lang/python/python-3.2.3-r2.ebuild?r1=1.16&r2=1.17 http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-lang/python/python-3.3.0-r1.ebuild?r1=1.10&r2=1.11
Spanky, Did you do something specific for avoid errors at the "make altinstall maninstall" step ? I'm getting some troubles here like ImportError: /var/tmp/i586-pc-linux-gnu/portage/dev-lang/python-2.7.3-r3/work/i586-pc-linux-gnu/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_struct.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 Maybe this need a new bug entry ?
(In reply to Bertrand Jacquin from comment #2) yes, you should be filing new bugs for everything. this bug is closed.
